Applications, interviews, disclosure decisions, and the rejection pileup. Everything from deciding to leave through the first week of the new thing.

For when you’ve got a situation and you want other people’s read on it. Work stuff, mostly: managers, coworkers, meetings, the parts of a job nobody wrote down. Advice is welcome here by default.

What you asked for, how you asked, and what actually happened. Approvals and denials are equally useful. Leave your employer unnamed.

Say it out loud without anyone trying to fix it. Posting here means you’re opting out of advice, and replying here means acknowledging and validating rather than solving.

Post them here. Categories that don’t make sense, text that’s too small, anything that behaves strangely on your phone.
